Greater Mage Armor

3.5E

3.5E But Better?

Pathfinder

Sor/Wiz 3+6 Armor AC Bonus

Just an upgraded Mage Armor with clear usefuleness

Pathfinder version goes and adds a +2 every 5 levels beyond the 5th up to a maximum of +10 at 15th level. Not sure we want to do that to have it improve, maybe? (The "But better" version of 3.5E scales even better than this!)

Arelith makes it a level 6 spell but does +2 in each of the 4 AC types the original Mage Armor does.

Epic Mage Armor for reference will be a flat +20 bonus compared to this.

Icon

VFX: A better version of the current VFX for Mage Armor, perhaps more involved

Mass Cure Light Wounds

Mass Cure Moderate Wounds

Mass Cure Serious Wounds

Mass Cure Critical Wounds

(3.5E PHB)

Brd 5, Clr 5, Drd 6

Brd 6, Clr 6, Drd 7 

Clr 7, Drd 8 

Clr 8, Drd 9

Cure spells but in an AOE (15ft radius, 30ft across)

Mass Cure Light Wounds was previous Healing Circle. We simply rename it.

Mass Heal is part of this line and treated the same (size etc.)

Icon

We reuse VFX from the normal cure/heal spells. The AOE VFX is generic. Might be worth a tweak (better AOE VFX and no-sound individual heal VFX)

Regenerate Light Wounds

Regenerate Moderate Wounds

Regenerate Serious Wounds

Regenerate Critical Wounds

Regenerate Massive Wounds

Light

Moderate

Serious

Critical

(Massive made up to replace Regenerate)

(3.5E Masters of the Wild: A Guidebook to Barbarians, Druids, and Rangers)

Clr 2, Drd 1

Clr 3, Drd 2

Clr 5, Drd 4

Clr 6, Drd 5

Clr 7, Drd 6

Regenerate 1/2/3/4/5 HP per round.

10 rounds + 1 round/level duration

Casting when an existing regeneration effect is present will extend the new spell if it's of equal or higher power, else it replaces.

Monsterous Regeneration → Regenerate Serious Wounds

Regenerate → Regenerate Massive Wounds

Icon (new range of icons). Reuse the existing icons for the spells Regenerate Ring and Regenerate Circle probably.

VFX could use a few more variations but is only an impact effect. Maybe do a green version of the healing VFX with a new set of sound effects would  be good.

Regenerate Ring

Regenerate Circle

Ring

Circle

Drd 3

Drd 6

REgenerate 1 or 3 HP per round

1 creature per 2 levels

10 rounds + 1 round/level duration

Casting when an existing regeneration effect is present will extend the new spell if it's of equal or higher power, else it replaces.

Not much, we roll it into the current regen scripts.

Icons can reuse Regenerate and Monsterous Regeneration spell icons I think.

AOE impact effect could be a good idea. Currently using a very basic pulse.

Assay Resistance

3.5E Complete Arcane

NWN2

Cleric 4, Sorcerer/Wizard 4

+10 bonus to overcome a specific creatures SR.

Implemented with custom Resist Spell checks.

Icon

VFX might be good but use the generic one for now.

Power Word, Blind3.0E SRDSor/Wiz 8, War 8Blindness for creatures in an area up to 200HP.

This goes along well with Stun and Kill power word spells.

The blind is permanent against low hit point creatures but the AI should be able to cope, and when the PC rests it gets removed.

Seems to be indiscriminate as Power Word, Kill is.

For now leaving them as Divination. Until perhaps more Divination spells are in play.

Icon

VFX from Spellmans.

New sound might be good. For now using Blindness/Deafness one.

Read Magic

3.0E

Brd 0, Clr 0, Drd 0, Pal 1, Rgr 1, Sor/Wiz 0 Reads scrolls. Nice thematic cantrip.

Mainly because utility spells are limited in the game, and we'll be changing how Identify works so helps scroll users.

Extended like ToEE to be both scrolls and potions. Will need to make these unidentified more though in the blueprints to be worthwhile.

Made into Divination as per 3.5E, and since Divination really needs some love.

Icon

Could use a nice VFX. We play the read animation maybe replace that.
